Heroic holidays

So we had a few friends over this weekend, and the kids exchanged some gifts.

The ten-year-old gave the fourteen-year-old that set of Avengers Minimates, the original group including Ant-Man and the Wasp. She likes them but says that they don't seem as sturdy as some of the others (in particular, Wasp's wings are problematic).

The fourteen-year-old gave the ten-year-old and her friend Minimates of themselves. It was all her own idea--she got several other figures that had the right hair, or clothes that could be turned into something the girls already owned, and put them together alont with custom-made boxes. They were thrilled (including the non-comic-reading friend) and spent the rest of the day playing with the other Minimates and giving themselves superpowers.
